This week, Sian has gone and got her hair cut again, because apparently that's what people do when they have their lives together.

Sian then gets mistaken for a boy in ALDI, while Bobby suffers a painful moment after someone compliments the dog and he genuinely thinks they’re talking about him.This week’s yarn takes a much darker turn as Sian tells the horrifying story of Teka Adams and the attempted fetal abduction case. It’s grim, unsettling, and definitely not one for the faint-hearted.Midnight Cringe comes from listener Mr Walker, whose first kiss gets completely ruined by the family dog… followed shortly after by his mum catching them. A disastrous sequence of events all round.And this week’s algorithm? Honestly, don’t expect much enlightenment—just Bobby and Sian having a proper moan about life for a while.A strange mix of dark stories, awkward moments, and pointless complaints.lets get into it🏠🧇

This week starts with Sian declaring war on BMW drivers now the sun’s out, Bobby spotting a crow lying in the road sunbathing like it’s in Benidorm, and the usual weekly nonsense that somehow becomes a full conversation.In Spin the Yarn, Bobby takes us through the creepy history of the Mermaid Inn, one of the most haunted pubs in Britain. Expect ghost stories, dodgy happenings, strange sightings, and a few spooky tales a bit closer to home from Croydon as well.Midnight Cringe comes from a very special guest this week—the birth-giver herself.

Just standard everyday stuff really.Sian also brings an “Am I the Arsehole?” story to the table involving someone taking a dump on the floor, which naturally leads to a far more serious discussion than it probably deserved.For Load of Waffle, we switch things up with a game of “Guess the Original”, trying to work out if it is original or a coverOne of those episodes that starts off fairly normal and slowly drifts into nonsense.Lets get into it🏠🧇

This week we start with the realities of the school holidays, being stuck at home ill and zooming into the telly , and how sickness somehow does the rounds in every household. Bobby somehow manages a rare win on the grabbing machines down Brighton Pier, and we get into the small wins in life—like finally sending the kids back to school, the unmistakable smell of manure in the countryside, and realising success now is basically just keeping plants alive.In Spin the Yarn, we go through all the things parents told us growing up that we just accepted—don’t swallow your gum, your face will stay like that if the wind changes, the dummy fairy, and the strict rule about never turning the light on in the car.

This week quickly descends into chaos with Bobby sharing a story about finding dead birds on a dog walk. When reporting this to the police, he (quite ironically), finds himself on a wild goose chase, only to end up telling the graphic details to a poor unsuspecting RSPCA charity-shop clerk. Sian then relives her lowest moment when she had to leave school early because of a dodgy gut. She trusted a fart on the journey home, which can only mean one thing... several disgusted people and no escape.And finally, our algorithm drags us into a discussion about The Whittakers - which leads Bobby to question his dignity and bark into a mic.Dead ducks, dodgy guts, and dog impressions.
